Each week, in a different city, the campaign will bring together a cross-section of influencers, stakeholders, educators, students, parents, and politicians for a pre-screening of that week's episode and a panel discussion that helps drive engagement and encourage locally-hosted, candid conversations about race and equity.

"While I think America To Me is a must-watch series, and doubly so if it takes you out of your comfort zone, recommending it doesn’t feel like quite enough. I don’t just want people to watch it. I want everyone to really sit down with it, to discuss it, to find concrete actions to fix the systemic issues within the education system, to actually understand the financial and racial struggles instead of distancing themselves through a screen. Which, I suppose, is a testament to America To Me‘s power."
- Pilot Viruet, Uproxx.
